Day 15, 12/13/2022

Got to the range today. I first worked through my priority pieces. It was block practice but I switched clubs every ball to add some variety. 

Then I spent about 20 balls hitting wedges to various targets from 30 to 80 yards out. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 5:

Backswing practice indoors today. Used patio door as a mirror. One thing that really helps me with width and depth is feeling like the left shoulder is what drives the turn while hands/arms are static. So today I sort of pre-set hand/wrist/arm, and then did shoulder turns from there to the top of the backswing.

Day 5- centered turn with forward weight shift.  Form isn’t perfect but hard to have great swing form with kettlebell.  Just working on a more centered turn and forward weight shift (not spinning around my body as I’ve noticed lately)

Got to the indoor range today. Was able to work on my priority pieces. I even shot some video. That I sent off to Yoda. 

I also did some putting. Speed control work today.

Day 4 - Heated range today. Worked on driver mostly to keep the impact on the mat to a minimum. Worked on my priority piece with slow swings. Caught myself a few times speeding up too much. But I did not do any full swings. Also, did some pitches to take a break between driver work. Maybe hit, 40 balls in an hour.

Day 17: 12/15/2022

Worked on my priority pieces in the garage today. Block work with a 7 iron. I did switch up the pieces no more than 5 balls and then move on to something else. 

I also did my overspeed training. So I got that going for me.

Day 1 - I decided that the end of the year was as good a time as any to start up again. Will be working on the basics (grip, stance, etc), slow swings and putting inside. Hoping to get to Trackman next week, then 2-3 times before the season starts up again in March.

Today did about 10 minutes of grip, stance and back swing positions, followed by about 10 minutes of 3' putts through a gate.

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
